    Chu, I know where you're coming from, but I can't exactly say I understand it - my sister thinks much the same way, and it is the primary source of tension between myself and her, because she doesn't view what I'm doing/researching as a "real" occupation. She thinks I should just go out and find a job which matches my degree, and if I don't want to work in the media industry, why did I get what is essentially a film school degree

    She views practice as more important than theory, and I like the theory side of things more!

    Anyway, I have to go call a woman about an application to the diplomatic corps.

    Are you any good at programming them or designing mechanics or creating art assets? Because I don't think you can get a degree in playing or enjoying or even criticizing video games. You can work towards those others though.

    There's also lots of crossover with other fields like education that you can study.

    You could get a degree studying media or in media criticism and focus on video games.

    I think with Simon it would be a degree in psychology with a focus on the affects of gaming. Or gaming's affect on the media as a whole. So more in effects of gaming on society more than a phd in gaming.

    That is what I am getting from this discussion.

    I just like drama, no matter the time period. I should love Telenovas but..eh.

    I sat through all of Nip/Tuck just for the drama even though it got to levels of beyond crazy.

    You could get a degree studying media or in media criticism and focus on video games.

    I mean, you could try really hard if you wanted to, just critiquing video games whenever you are given an open assignment to do so. But I don't think any media studies programs will allow video game criticism as an actual degree specialization.

    It isn't male pattern baldness kicking right? (I kid) Do they check your blood levels constantly still after your surgery? Because they would probably be a good thing.

    That's rather reasonable then, given that it's a constantly expanding industry with near limitless potential.
